The Minnesota Timberwolves are an NBA Western Conference (Northwest Division) team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their home, Target Center, holds 18,798 fans.
Tied to mascot Crunch the Wolf, fans have a real tradition of unleashing a collective howl during tense moments — team lore holds that Crunch’s “den” is somewhere inside Target Center and he’s “lured out” by the fans’ howling.

🚌 Getting Around
Take Metro Blue or Green line to Warehouse District/Hennepin Ave station — just a one-block walk from there. In winter, Minneapolis’s skyway system lets you walk indoors from most downtown hotels.
🏨 Lodging
Cambria Hotel, Royal Sonesta Minneapolis, Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis/Downtown (directly skyway-connected), and The Lofton (right across from the arena, skyway-connected) are designated official hotel partners.
🎟️ Tickets
Ticketmaster is the official partner, with SeatGeek, StubHub, and VividSeats also used fairly evenly.
💡 Insider Tips
Only bags under 5×9 inches are allowed (diaper/medical bags are permitted after inspection), there’s no bag-check service, and there’s no re-entry. The arena is fully cashless, and gates open 1 hour before the game.
